Elim property guide

New year, new home? If that’s you—congratulations! Moving into a new place is always exciting, whether it’s your first rental or an upgrade to something bigger.

As we step into the new year, many of us set goals to improve our lives, whether it’s getting healthier, pursuing career aspirations, or achieving financial stability. For South African homeowners, managing the rising cost of living in 2025 is an essential resolution to keep at the forefront of their minds. 

When homeowners decide to sell their property, one important question arises: should you buy a new home before selling your current one, or sell first and then buy? This decision depends on various factors, such as whether you’re moving locally or to another province or country, whether you have children in school, and the need for a deposit.
